HUMMINGBIRD RIDGE WINERY - JULY 2010 NEWSLETTER

HUMMINGBIRD RIDGE WINERY - JULY 2010 NEWSLETTER

We have some Exciting News this month!!! Our new Port-style wine, which is called PORDEVINO (we can't call it Port because "Port" is an internationally trademarked name), has now been released!!! We're not ones to toot our own horns a lot but we have to say, This Wine is Soooo Soooo Delicious!!!

In case you don't know what Port wine is, it is a dessert wine that is fortified so that it has a bit higher alcohol content than table wine. Our red wine PORDEVINO dances across your tongue with delicious multi-layered flavors of blueberry, blackberry, cherry and even hints of strawberry. We are so proud of this wine and we hope that you will stop in to try it. And just as exciting is the new white Port-style wine that we are working on that we hope to release within the next month.

- And our new Hummingbird Ridge Winery Logo Wine Glasses are now in and available for purchase! We have regular and stemless wine glasses available.

- Also, we are getting ready to participate in trying to break the Guinness World Record for the World's Largest Wine Toast. Pennsylvania wineries will attempt to break this record by simultaneously doing a toast on August 14th. The current record for the world’s largest wine tasting at multiple venues is 17,540 people, set at more than 400 pubs across the United Kingdom on May 21, 2008.

The Toastmaster for the August 14th Toast will be a man who knows a thing or two about speed and wine – auto racing legend, Mario Andretti. The toast will be delivered simultaneously via video to all participating wineries. We will announce more information soon.
Mario Andretti will also be autographing a bottle of our new PORDEVINO for us to auction and raise money for charity.

All charitable proceeds from the Great Pennsylvania Wine Toast will benefit The Fund to Benefit Children & Youth (http://www.fundforkids.org/ ), whose mission is to provide abused, neglected and at-risk children with the items and services they cannot receive from traditional sources.

- Speaking of worthy charitable causes, Our friend Erin Duffy is the organizer of the Duffy Motorcycle Poker Run (in memory Erin's father and our friend John Duffy). This will benefit Angelina Soriano, a local 8 year old girl who has Leukemia. It is happening on July 17th, The starting point is at Alpine Inn off the Lewisberry exit of Interstate 83. You can get more information at www.facebook.com/pages/Duffy-Poker-Run/103861396316693  You can also make donations at the winery to benefit this charity.

- Also, another fine York County restaurant is now serving Hummingbird Ridge wines - Hillside Cafe, just off the Lewisberry exit of Interstate 83. Be sure to ask for Hummingbird Ridge wines at the following fine York County eateries: Silver Lake Inn, Lewisberry; Back Woods Grill, Etters; The Field House, Etters; Two Brothers, Etters; Culhane’s Steak House, New Cumberland; Hillside Cafe, Lewisberry.
